She didn't expect somebody to run from her left and win in 2008 (ironically enough a man who had a slightly more conservative record than her). Obama really dragged her on the Iraq war and to a lesser extent with trade deals like NAFTA. I don't think she expected another even more leftist insurgency last year to be so damaging as well. 2008 still makes 2016 look tame though. People forget just how nasty Obama and Clinton were with one another compared to Sanders.

She also supposedly changed her electoral strategy going into 2016 as a result of Trump. She was gonna run a more populist left campaign but with Trump she turned her narrative into Trump being fundamentally unfit for the office of the Presidency.

The GOP wouldn't have ran the Romney-bot to counter the Hillary-bot. Too similar for the base of the Party to accept.


Chris Christie would've been the nominee. Loud, brash, and tells it like it is! Hillary would've been overwhelmed by the NJ Governor. Worst case scenario he would just eat her like he ate Jimmy Hoffa in 75'.
